In the Constitutions report Of the
execution Of John Smith at Franklin
yesterday, a significant scence on the
scaffold was described:
The prisoner had long been con-
iirined in the ways Of sin. He was
about to die for a cold-blooded muir
der. Standing beneath the gallows
he made a short talk. He spoke OF
his impending death with slight
emotion. Then Of 'his people" with
some signs Of tears. Then of his
wife with sobs and q trembling voice.
Then Of "his old mother" and there
he broke down completely and gave
way 70 uncomfortable grief.
All, yes! 1t is right there that we
all break down. At the thought OF
''dear old mother" with her gray
hairs, her kindly face, across which
time and sorrow are cutting their
burrows, and her faith and affection
that never waivers or doubts. 1t is to
"the old mother" that the mans
heart turns at last when trouble. or
affection, or remorse overtakes him.
Other loves may be stronger, and the
passion of other loves may obscure
this for a time. Other ties may be
closer. and the rapture of joys that
are present may dull the memory of
the absent, The wife clinging in
absorbed happiness to the arm, or
the little ones, clambering fond and
trustful about the knee, may eface
all thought of "the old mother."-
But when a crisis comes, and the
strong man Is bending beneath q
burden too grievous to be borne, the
vision comes to him of one, idealized
In his heart at least, who never
doubted, who lever w%earied, but
who loved all the time with a love
that passeth understanding. The
wife, wondering AT this at first, ac-
cepts it at last, quietly arquiescieng,
but happy in her mothers heart to
know that from her own children in
the days to come this some miracle
shall be rendered unto her!
John Smith did the right thing in
''breaking down completely" when
he began to talk Of his old mother.
His grief at this point was a touch of
nature that graced ven the scatfold,
and furnished about the only evil
dence we can get from his record
that he carried a human heart in his
breast.-Atlauta Constitution.

Bishop Hare and Rev, s. D. Hinman,

In New York motion to place the suit
OF Rev. Samuel D. Hinman against Bishop
William Hare for damages for alleged libel,
on the day calendar of the supreme court
Tor trial was argued before Judge Patter-
son. The case grew out of ADMINISTRATION
set on foot by the bishop concerning accu-
sations of immortality against the plaint-
iff, in regard to which the bishop made
a statement. Mr.. Hinman was O mis-
sionary among the Indians in Dakota and
Nebraska in the diocese over which the
bishop presided. After several investiga-
tions without result the suit was brought
and was decided in favor OF the plaintiff
The judgment was sustained by the general
term, but was reversed on technical
grounds by the court of appeals and a new
trial was ordered. Counsel in behalf OF
the plaintiff stated that his client had
teen unable to secure any employment
from the church since the publication had
been made and that he would have starved
if it had not been for friends kindness

Making Rogues Talk.

A writer in the current Harper's,
Magazine give some instances of the,
remarkable power to makes rogres
talk possessed by Inspector Byrnes
OF the New York police department.:
Interviews with the Inspector are
had by special request. His private
office is adorned by photographs and
crayon drawings whose subjects are
associated with police affairs. Some.
OF the men reporting to him are said
to be college bred, and can pass mus
ter in the best society. All are chosen
in view of individual aptitude for cer-
tain kinds of work. The stamp of Off
cialism is about the last of which there
is any trace. Keeping incognito as
much as possible, the chances of
prompt detection are multiplied.
"Crooks" are now afraid of their
shadows; great robberies have ceased
and minor crime been reduced over
eighty per cent. Detectives more or
less closely initiate the example ottheir
chef, who says: every evening make
it q point to meet some Of these men
in their resorts and learn from them.
the whereabouts of their friends and
what they are doing One crook Of
consequence generally knows what
other good men are doing. In this.
way keep posted, and know in what
part OF the country all the sharp men,
are. AS experts are liberated from
the state prison, follow their tracks
in this way" For the secret police Of
European countries, and for the pri-
vate detectives in this, Inspector.
Byrnes entertains undisguised con-
tempt. Crime, in his opinion, is a fine
art, and criminal detection science.
"Set a thief to catch a thiet," is a.
hoary mendacity. ''In the long run
the honest officer is match for the
smartest thief" Detective opinion of
the morality OF American life, private
or official, is not of roseate hue. The
bribe- taking aldermen of 1884 have
not improved it's complexion. OF
Henry w. Jaehne, their former vice
president, but now in Sing Sing

it was, l knew that he was rascal,

l had gained his confidence to such an
extent that he admitted his guilt as

The president allowed the river and
harbor bill to fail, because there are
SIG, 10000 in unexpended river and
harbor balances remaining in the
hands of the secretary of war, and, as
the president said a few days ago, it
seemed to him that he had signed a
river and harbor bill only the week
before. There were several items OF
questionable value in the bill,
and some that were unquestionably
bad. No great interest is believed to
be threatened by the failure of the
measure. It was not discussed in the
house, and, so for as that body was
concerned, it was the product OF three
conferrees.

Boston, March 14.-An accident this
morning occurred on the Dedham branch
OF the Boston d Providence railroad be-
tween Forest HILL and Roslindale, at Bus
sey Park bridge. The Z O'Clock train from
Dedham, consisting of seven cars
and a baggage car, under charge
OF Conductor Tilden, broke through the
bridge. The,engine and three cars went
over safely, but the five others fell through
OF thirty feet. The last car, which was the
smoker, turned completely over and
struck on top Of the Others, all
being crushed almost out OF shape.
The latest reports place the
number. OF killed at thirty three and Of
injured atseventy. The bridge is compara-
lively new one, and the accident was caus.
ed by q truck on .one'of the cars giving way,
causing the car to strike against the abut-
n1ent Of the bridge. The smoking car, after
it fell, caught fire, but the fire department.
prevented any spread OF the flames. Tho
bodies OF the dead have all been removed,
and OF the wounded some are at the hos.
pital and some have been taken home, so
that it Is very difficult to obtain their
names and the extent OF their injuries.

An Old Name Revamped.

The term "kettle drum as applied
to social gatherings is commonly sup
posed to be of modern origin, but the
New York Journal of Commerce in
answer to several Inquiries shows that
part OF it at least is OF ancient usage,
and that the phrase as whole has
evoluted by gradual processes into it's
present form and application:
' The name drum given to an even
ing party is very old. Fielding, in his
''Tom Jones' (1749), describes drum
as IAN assemblage of well-dressed per-
sons of both sexes, most of whom
play at cards. and the rest do nothing
at all; while the mistress of the house
performs the part of the landlady at an
inn, and like the landlady OF an inn,
prides herself on the number of her
guests, though she doth not always, like
her,get any ything by it," Francis Coven-
try, in his History of Pompey the
Little, published in 1851, says that
"a drum is now the highest
object OF female vain-glory, the
end whereof is to assemble as large a
mob OF quality as can possibly be con-
tanned in one house." He traces the
name of the rivalry among the differ
ent givers OF the entertainment to se-
cure the largest list, for which pur-
pose they "beat up for volunteers"
PI1t a no no nh tho cap,o nj;

Drum, whereas 5he lowest often give
that name to the commonest parties"
Here we have the derivation: Dutch
drom is crowd" drommel yerzame-
lin is crowd together" And the Sax
on drom is the noise that proceeds
from a crowd. We pass over sug-
gestion in q dictionary of quotations
